Autumn Colors

Autumn Colors Trees shake old cobwebs from their heads A kaleidoscopic parade of colors tumbles down Pretty reds and yellows, parasol shapes Parachute softly and collect in mounds Falling leaves that drift and cross our paths Brought on by climates cooler winds Leave the trees in all their majesty To become the magic of the season Created on 9/03/14 for Autumn Colors poetry contest

Hi Francine, I appreciate your interest and kind words. I miss the Fall weather and 4 seasons in NJ. I live in Florida now where we have heat followed by more heat. Thanks again. It was a fun contest. Take care. Earl
